After classification of the marshalling yards by hump capacity, various types of automatic systems are described and compared. These include target shooting from primary or siding retarders, restricted target shooting, a system with automatic brake mules, semicontinuous systems of speed control such as the Swedish ASEA or British Dowty systems and forced continuous speed control systems.
